Unique information or story about you: I don't care what they say, I don't have green eyes.

Most embarrassing (race/training) moment: Unfortunately, nothing yet.  But stay tuned...

Results/achievements I am proud of: Completing my first century within 2 months of taking cycling seriously.  I've been riding almost all my life, but for purely recreational or practical reasons.  Prior to that century, my longest ride had been about 30 miles, which, at the time, I thought was a long way to ride.  That first century hurt, but I was proud rolling over that finish line.
